Product Details

Unmatched Off-Road Flexibility On-Road Stability

Take your Toyota 4Runner (1996-2002) to the next level with the Crawl Series Rear Control Arm and Track Bar Kit. This complete rear-end solution provides total control over axle centering, suspension geometry, and pinion angle adjustments, ensuring maximum performance and durability. Whether you're tackling extreme off-road terrain or maintaining smooth highway manners, this kit delivers the perfect balance of strength, stability, and adjustability.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Heavy-duty DOM tubing construction – Built from 5/16” wall DOM tubing, these control arms and track bar provide maximum durability and strength, far surpassing factory and aftermarket alternatives.
  • Johnny Joints for maximum flexibility – Equipped with Johnny Joints at both ends, these components allow unparalleled articulation, reducing binding and improving off-road performance.
  • Left- and right-hand threaded adjustability – All components are left- and right-hand threaded, allowing for on-vehicle adjustments to fine-tune suspension geometry and alignment without removal.
  • Fully adjustable for lifted vehicles – Designed to accommodate 0 to 6 inches of lift, allowing for precise axle centering and pinion angle adjustments. For lifts beyond 6 inches, contact us for custom solutions.

Two-Stage Powder Coating for Maximum Protection

All components undergo a two-stage powder coating process for long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance. A zinc primer base coat prevents rust and enhances longevity, followed by a durable top coat available in 10 custom colors for added protection and personalization.

Proudly Made in the USA

Manufactured in Orem, UT, the Crawl Series Rear Control Arm and Track Bar Kit is built to the highest standards of American craftsmanship. By choosing CORE 4X4, you’re supporting locally made, high-quality products that are designed to withstand the most demanding conditions.

Optional Hardware Upgrade

Designed for easy installation using factory hardware. For those dealing with rusted or stubborn bolts, optional Grade 8 hardware kits are available separately for a hassle-free setup.


  • Vehicle Fitment: Toyota 4Runner 96-02 – Delivers total control over axle positioning, suspension geometry, and pinion angle adjustments for lifted and off-road setups.

  • CORE Advantage: Reduces driveline vibration, improves axle centering, and enhances articulation, ensuring superior ride quality and suspension control on any terrain.

  • Adjustability: Accommodates 0 to 6 inches of lift with left- and right-hand threaded adjusters, allowing for on-vehicle fine-tuning of pinion angle, alignment, and rear axle positioning.

  • Construction: Heavy-duty 5/16” wall DOM tubing, combined with Johnny Joints at both ends of all components, providing maximum articulation, strength, and vibration dampening.

  • Two-Stage Powder Coating: Zinc primer base and top coat available in 10 vibrant colors protect against corrosion and allow for personalized styling of your rig.

I don’t write reviews often, but Core 4x4 absolutely earned this one. I recently ordered leaf spring mounts and realized after the fact that I messed up my order. Totally my mistake. Instead of giving me the runaround or pointing at a return policy, Core 4x4 emailed me back and forth, worked through exactly what I was doing with my build, and made sure I ended up with the correct parts. That kind of customer service is rare these days — especially in the off-road world where a lot of companies stop caring once the order is placed. The parts themselves are exactly what you hope for: solid, well-made, confidence-inspiring hardware that looks like it belongs under a vehicle that actually gets used. You can tell these are designed by people who understand suspension geometry and real-world abuse, not just CAD screenshots. Mistakes happen — especially on custom or modified builds — and Core 4x4 handled mine like pros. Fast responses, clear communication, and a genuine effort to help me get it right. If you’re on the fence: don’t be. Core 4x4 is the kind of company you want backing your build — the kind that treats customers like fellow enthusiasts, not order numbers.

The customer service is first class. I had an issue with a track bar I installed on my F350. I don’t have any other Core 4x4 parts yet, but with the way I was treated, I know their parts are well done, because they went above and beyond to make sure I was made whole. They wouldn’t be in business if they had to take care of a lot of people like they took care of me. Will definitely be back when it’s time to build the Jeep!

We have all shopped places where the person on the phone makes you feel like they don't have the time to talk to you the customer or answer your questions. I can tell you first hand that's not Core 4x4. They have the best customer service I have seen so far. They have taken the time to respond to all of my questions in a very prompt and professional manner, taking the time to answer each and every question I have had. Lets put it this way if Core 4x4 sells a product I am wanting for my truck I will buy it from them, I highly recommend Core 4x4.

Great company. Highly satisfied with Core 4x4 customer service. Had some bushings fall apart around 600 miles from home. Called and spoke with Korby Linscomb on Thursday, late in the afternoon. He was able to get my bushings sent across country overnight at a very reasonable rate. Had me up and running by Friday evening with enough time to enjoy the Great Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion. Thanks Guys!

To start off if you're looking to upgrade your control arms definitely hit this company up. Great product, easy install of the product, with three different tiers everything is priced pretty good, I'm a sticker guy and they sent a sticker for each arm each track bar and also three extra ones so the extra are on the Jeep the advertise them for sure. If you're reading this review I highly recommend you to check their website out.

Great Experience. I wanted to make changes to my order and Korby was more than willing to work with me to get everything corrected. Hope to deal with these guys again in the future.

2001 Wrangler TJ- i have purchased all front/rear upper/lower control arms. Front track bar and rear track bar. Quality is excellent and extremely durable you can tell its built to last. Bent a bolt on the front track bar and called and spoke with Spence. He immediately sent me out new hardware plus some! Product is amazing but what really separates companies apart is their service and these guys are second to none. Thank you all!
